Download Drupal 7.9

Version 7.9 of Drupal has been released. Drupal is a PHP-written, user-friendly and powerful content management platform, with which, for example, websites can be created. In version 7.0 we find, among other things, a new interface, which should be simpler and more intuitive. In addition, additional fields can now be added to content, users, terms and more, such as URLs, images and lists of options. An automatic test has also been added to the framework to detect bugs in the code. Finally, the database layer has been completely rewritten, which solves many of the layer limitations in Drupal 6. Updates are offered separately. Normally two versions are released. The first contains only security updates, while the other contains bug fixes as well. This time, however, only ‘normal’ errors were found.
